Week 7 assignment

This week’s assignment will require submission of your draft Project Management Plan. To earn full credit for this assignment, the following specific information should be at least 50% complete.

This submission is a draft copy and a living document, as it would be for a viable Project. I am looking for comprehension of task requirements, artifact generation, and project management skills.

The submission must be completed on the supplied template - the Project Management Plan template:

Project Management Plan Template - 20.doc

In addition, while creating the document:

• Read and delete all instructions


• Review and implement the comments from past artifact submissions


• Align the data from past artifact submissions into this project management plan


• Do not modify the templates


• Be specific


• Do not be vague; be precise in your verbiage; focus your language


• Explain how you will manage the project


• Requirements state the “what” and are not to state the “why” or “how”


• Requirements should include “shall”, not “will” or "should"


• Review the requirement information in the course and text content


• Every artifact is a formal document; do not use the words “we”, “our”, “you”, “they”, etc 
  
  
  
  • Instead use “The project team”, “The business owner”, etc
  
  
  
  


• Define all acronyms on their first use


• Attach (imbed) all attachments in Reference B section of the document 
  
  
  
  • Do not state the “attachments are located on the SharePoint”
  
  
  • These documents should be standalone documents
  
  
  
  


• Deliverables are outputs of the project, or phase, or process 
  
  
  
  • They are what you are working towards in your project
  
  
  
  


• Mitigation strategies are how you will manage the risks


• The font and formatting needs to be consistent through the document; this includes capitalization, grammar, etc


• Stakeholders are anyone who has or will be impacted by the project in any way


• Use spell check before submission
